Strategic Action 1.6: International & Heritage Languages

Expand International and Heritage Language options in high schools.

Celebrating Linguistic Diversity

In 91ºÚÁÏÍø, we are proud of the rich tapestry of languages spoken by our students and families. We are committed to creating an environment where this diversity is not only recognized but celebrated. By strengthening our IHL programs, we provide students with the opportunity to connect with their heritage, develop valuable linguistic skills, and foster a greater appreciation for global cultures.

Enhancing Instruction

We are dedicated to improving the quality and accessibility of our IHL instruction. This involves a comprehensive review of our current programs, building stronger partnerships with community language organizations, and developing a clear framework to support our IHL teachers and learners, ensuring a high-quality educational experience for all.
